It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.

I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.

I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade.

Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.

I don't like the idea of spirituality done the way it's done. The only way I could understand it was through creativity, not by going to an Ashram, or finding a guru or joining a temple. I made work out of it.

Music - which I could never listen to while writing before I had children - became essential to my process.

You don't have to be a renowned artist like Q-Tip to try your hand at poetry. You don't need any special equipment - that's the beauty of it.

I get bursts of creativity with bursts of physical activity.
